Stop the Layoffs

Mayor Sylvester Turner and Houston City Council

Last Friday, Houston City Employees in the Health Department, Houston Public Libraries, Administrative Regulatory Affairs Department and the Parks and Recreation Department began receiving layoff notifications. Those employees - like the rest of us - make Houston work. Sign our petition and tell Mayor Turner to stop these unnecessary layoffs.

Laying off municipal employees would not just disrupt Houston's public services, it would be personally and financially devastating for many of us and our families. Every day we struggle with understaffing, failing equipment and low morale. City services are stretched thin and we are consistently asked to do more with less. 
 
However, we still work hard every day to make our city run. We fill potholes, make sure our drinking water is clean and safe to use and respond to emergencies during extreme weather. We work shoulder to shoulder with our First Responders like police officers and firefighters. 
 
Our paychecks raise families, pay rent, provide groceries and buy school supplies. 
 
Please, do not abandon the working people who make our city a great place to live. Find solutions to stop layoffs of municipal employees.
